Things have been weird

"Why didn't you tell me you loved me?" Wang Yuhan asked.

Ji Jin stiffened. Her movements stopped but he pinched her waist lightly. She blinked and continued. "Who told you that I did?" She tried sounding sarcastic.

He stared at her face. "I want to make it clear to you Jin, I.. at the moment.."

Before he could say something she cut him off. "Qian is the best for you. I know that. She is just messing around with you. Isn't she always shipping us? I seriously don't like you. I know my limits."

He felt disappointed and happy at the same time. "Good that you know. Well you seriously look beautiful today. Is this dress backless on purpose?"

He stroked her back and she frowned at him. "You want a beating? Keep your hands to yourself."

He smirked. "Why, are you blushing?" Just then the lights were turned down.

He sighed. "Well, I got rejected again."

"That bitch!"

"Thank-you for caring so much Jin." He said smiling lightly at her.

"You are welcome." and bam! she was gone again.

On the other hand, when Mi Chan approached Li Zinhuo he wrapped one arm around her waist. "You look beautiful today."

She smiled. "You don't look bad either. I am swooning over your look."

"Indeed, I am excited you're getting engaged. By the way, it's our first dance together. Am I good at it?"

Mi Chan smiled. "You're indeed good at it. Look at me failing to catch up with you."

He sighed. "You look too pretty to resist."

Mi Chan squinted. "For god's sake, I am getting married soon."

"Well your father gave me a call yesterday. You might need to hurry this wedding." Li Zinhuo's face turned cold.

"I know, I will have to add a little bit of drama."

"You know how much people hate you?"

"I know, we can't help what people think. Gotta do, what we gotta do. Once I get married, I will tell him the whole truth."

When the lights were turned down, Li Zinhuo leaned in. "About us too?"

"I will see." She said in a barely audible tone.

"My gift looks good on you."

She nodded. "I really love it."

"Time to go little rabbit. Meet you later."

She smiled and they all switched positions again. Mi Chan was with Wang Yuhan. Both had an irritating expression.

Sang Qian with Li Zinhuo and Wang Zhao with Ji Jin.

After teasing and bickering with each other, they got back to their original places and the dance ended.

Ji Jin had a serious expression on her face and excused herself. Sang Qian's heart was still thundering against her chest. She wondered what was wrong with her.

Mr Wang raised his glass up in the air. "Everyone, I have an announcement to make."

Wang Zhao held Mi Chan's hand. He smiled. His eyes turned to look at Sang Qian, she had a frown on her face. Qin Si patted her shoulder and she smiled awkwardly. She was lost. He averted his eyes and looked at Mi Chan. She had a smile on her face.

He sighed. Mr Wang continued. "So as I said, My son has now officially taken over the company after being back after three years. But here is another bonus announcement, today, he will be engaged to the love of his life. Everyone, please welcome the future Mrs Wang with open arms. Her name is Mi Chan, and here is Wang Zhao!"

Everyone started clapping their hands. Mi Chan and Wang Zhao walked in the middle of the hall, where Mr and Mrs Wang were standing. They raised their glasses and cheered. "Exchange rings." Mrs Wang stated in a low voice.

Wang Yuhan pulled out a box and handed it to Wang Zhao, on the other hand Qin Si held out the box for Mi Chan. Sang Qian and Li Zinhuo were standing side by side staring at the couple. She turned to look at him. "How do you feel?" She asked nudging at his shoulder.

He turned his head to take a look her. "Rubbing salt on my wounds?" He asked with a frown on his face.

"That's what is happening to both of us."

"You still like him?"

"It doesn't hurt, but It doesn't appeal me either. It pisses me off somehow. Things have been weird lately." Sang Qian stated with a weird expression.

Li Zinhuo nodded in agreement.

Wang Zhao on the other hand was very happy as he stared at Mi Chan, they were getting engaged finally. He was marrying the woman of his dreams. He held her hand and slid the ring on her finger. Everyone cheered. Sang Qian's fist curled up. Her nerves popping out.

She couldn't appreciate the site. The extinguished fire was starting to ignite again. She couldn't wrap her head around the situation with herself but she knew, it wasn't good. A smile made it's way on her lips as she clapped her hands but as soon as her hands fell on her sides, they curled into fists.

Li Zinhuo felt strange when he saw Mi Chan slide the ring on Wang Zhao's finger. But what came next almost made him loose his cool. Wang Zhao pulled Mi Chan closer and kissed her lips lightly. Li Zinhuo gulped down the uncomfortable feeling and cheered. He was his best friend after all.

Wang Zhao smiled at everyone and eyed the crowd. His eyes traveled to Sang Qian and down her arms to her curled up fists. Her face had a decent smile but her curled fists indicated something different. He mumbled," yet you say You're over me." A smirk made it's way on his lips as he raised the champagne glass in the air," cheers to everyone."

Sang Qian turned around when she suddenly noticed Ji Jin wasn't present. She walked to Wang Yuhan. "What did you talk about when you and Jin were dancing? Don't tell me you said something you probably will regret." She asked with a concerned look.

He paused for a second before he looked back at her. "Um.. I did."

Sang Qian had a disappointed expression. "what was it?"

He licked his lips. "nothing much, just that the dress suited her." He couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth.

Sang Qian frowned," You are a bad liar." She turned around and searched through the crowd. Just as she was about to go to the balcony, her parents arrived.

She greeted them. "You're late mom and dad. What happened?"

Mrs Sang patted her back. "Your sister created a fuss and then we almost witnessed an accident."

Sang Qian's expression turned into a worried one,"You should be careful and have a tight security. And, I will talk with sister too."

Mr Sang didn't even say a word and walked away. Sang Qian smiled bitterly to herself as her mother patted her back.

She gulped the tugging feeling in her chest. Qin Si walked to her. "Where is Jin?"

Sang Qian bit her lip. "I am also looking for her. I think I should apologize to her."

Qin Si complained. "Why do you cause trouble between her and Wang Yuhan?"

Sang Qian shook her head. "I didn't."

"let's find Jin first."

Sang Qian felt bad. She walked to the balcony and saw no one. After searching around, she finally came back and saw Ji Jin and Wang Yuhan having a conversation. Both seemed to be discussing something. She walked to them and hugged Ji Jin. "I was worried. I am so sorry."

Ji Jin smiled. "Sorry for what? Lemme have a peaceful talk with him. I will be back later."

Wang Yuhan chuckled,"Yea we are discussing a very serious matter."

"Leaving me out?" Sang Qian inquired. Her expression was not so delightful.

Ji Jin sighed. "Psychologically, yes."

Sang Qian rolled her eyes. "Not that again." and she walked away waving her hand.

Ji Jin looked back at Wang Yuhan. "I would probably leave in a few minutes. I am tired already." He nodded. "Ok." He turned his head around as his eyes turned cold again as soon as he knew Sang Qian wasn't watching them. Ji Jin also had an aloof expression standing by his side.

Qin Si on the other hand took a note of this and decided to inform Sang Qian.

***

After the celebration was over, Sang Qian felt tired and decided to leave. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out of her purse standing in the middle of the parking lot. She suddenly felt someone approach her from behind. She felt uncomfortable all over.

She turned around to look at a strange man. She stepped away. "Who are you?" She said angrily. She couldn't answer the call and she got irritated.

She looked at the man with a frown. He smirked. "I have an offer for you."

She raised a brow. He stepped closer and held her arm. "Let's get together for a night and I will award you with a lot of money."

She shook his hand away. "Get away from me." She turned around and suddenly she felt him hold her from behind and pulled her.

He held her in his grasp. "Are you sure you want to act bold."

Sang Qian felt anxiety creep inside of her. The same voice as years ago when she was beaten up.

She frowned,"You are that same jerk from years ago, let me go!"

He held her arms tightly behind her. "You remember?"

"Please, leave me alone."

"I can't let you go now that you have seen me. Boss will kill me." He whispered.

She started sweating. That was the worst experience and she surely didn't want to experience it again.

Her body trembled. She heard footsteps and shouted. "Save me!"

Her face was covered again and the man cursed as he hit her back. "Keep your damned mouth shut."

She shivered and her body went numb. Her mind was blank as her vision started to blur out. Before she knew she was pulled to another side. The scent was familiar and a sigh of relief escaped her lips.
